Chapter 172 Reveals Peach Blossom Spring
Jiang Mianmian's trip has resolved everything that needed to be resolved. The horse farm has been officially acquired. The next step is to continue acquiring other assets. Coal and iron mines are the main sources of income, and there are also the "redemption money" for a dozen or so pregnant men, which is also a large sum of money!
Besides these, there are also rapidly increasing merits and a Level 4 Peach Blossom Spring Master!
She had also checked out the newly opened Peach Blossom Spring infrastructure features. Although they could only be used within Peach Blossom Spring, they included hospitals, schools, shopping malls, villas, high-rise buildings, and so on—all of which were extremely practical infrastructure. More advanced features included highways, railways, power plants, reservoirs, sewage treatment plants, and so on, but all of them required a considerable amount of merit points.
Even the cheapest villa requires 200,000 merit points.
Jiang Mianmian decided to bind all the available slots in Peach Blossom Paradise in the next few days. After all, as long as people stay here, they can generate a continuous stream of merit points. These people can also continuously develop Peach Blossom Paradise, such as the most basic farming and chicken raising, as well as embroidery and sewing. These products can now be sold in the Peach Blossom Paradise Mall to further increase merit points!
Having made up her mind, she immediately got dressed and got up.
These people couldn't stop her, so they had to join in her commotion while Ninth Sister, Granny Niu, and the others went to choose livestock.
When the residents heard that there would be a celebration that evening, they didn't bother to ask why and all happily came to help.
As long as there's food, why are they asking so many questions?
Jiang Mianmian found Shi Yi and first went to the mountain valley to bind all the originally designated residents. Then she took Old Madam Ye back to Ye Family Village and bound all the Ye family members and those who came to seek refuge with Ye Family as residents as well.
After sending them all to Peach Blossom Spring, I went to deliver supplies to the camp.
With the ice machine, the overall temperature of the campsite is much cooler than outside. Although it's not as idyllic as Peach Blossom Spring, it's not unbearably hot either.
Jiang Mianmian filled all the warehouses.
The people beamed with joy as they looked at the bags of rice, coarse flour, dried meat, and cured chicken. "Great! This is enough for us to eat for another month!"
"Yes, it's a good thing we have a campsite and this food, otherwise we would have starved to death or died of heatstroke outside."
"Everything outside is in chaos right now, but things are much better here, all thanks to Mianmian Fujun."
These people did not know about the existence of Peach Blossom Spring. They only knew that they were able to live such a good life in the camp now, not because of Magistrate Ye or the Registrar, but because of Lord Mianmianfu!
However, what surprised them even more was yet to come.
With a wave of his hand, Mianmian Fujun conjured up hundreds of strange, large boxes that were emitting cold air!
"There are popsicles and ice cream inside. The team leader is in charge of distributing them. People with weak spleen and stomach or menstruation should not eat them. Everyone else, one popsicle each!" Jiang Mianmian put on the loudspeaker and waved for the team leader to go and guard the freezer to distribute popsicles.
He then summoned the brigade leader and said, "Pass down the word that everyone will have a collective celebration tonight. Each brigade will receive five pigs, one sheep, two thousand eggs, two thousand catties of vegetables, one hundred catties of white rice, and five hundred catties of brown rice, all without any points awarded. Bring your people over to collect them in a quarter of an hour."
The group was so excited they almost cried. "Really?"
"Is there something important to announce?"
Jiang Mianmian smiled and nodded, "Yes, you guys go and call for help first."
The group rushed back to find people and vehicles, and the entire camp was buzzing with excitement because of the news.
Jiang Mianmian also started taking things out of the warehouse, and if she didn't have enough, she would just buy them directly from the mall, causing her merit points to drop.
Fortunately, although a lot of merit points were spent, it did not affect the calculation of the accumulated merit points for leveling up. The accumulated merit points for leveling up had already exceeded 600,000. After spending this little bit, the shop only had 400,000 left.
But it's worth it. They'll eat it and it will generate even more merit points!
After all the teams had received their supplies and returned home, Jiang Mianmian convened a meeting with Magistrate Ye and others, as well as the eight captains and all the squad leaders, to announce the existence of Peach Blossom Spring.
"Through the fairy's continuous efforts, a place called Peach Blossom Spring has been opened up for us, and a small group of people have already entered and experienced it."
Jiang Mianmian looked at Granny Li, signaling her to speak.
As soon as Granny Li opened her mouth, the team leaders, both big and small, started drooling with envy. "Mianmian Fujun, we want to go too! How can we go?"
"Yes, we've all been working very hard on the task."
Although they had no shortage of food and drink, and even ice, it was like heaven and earth compared to the paradise where Granny Li and her family lived.
Jiang Mianmian knew they were anxious, so she raised her hand and pressed it down in mid-air. "Because Peach Blossom Spring has just been opened and is not stable, Granny Li and the others also risked their lives to go in, just to be sure that nothing would go wrong. Now the situation is basically stable, but the number of people who can enter is still limited. I will explain the number of people this time in detail."
There are eight teams, each with a quota of two hundred residents, three hundred slaves, and one hundred skilled craftsmen.
These spots aren't many for the team, but it's better than nothing.
As for how to make the specific selection, that's a matter for Magistrate Ye and the team leaders.
After giving her instructions, Jiang Mianmian drove back. As soon as she entered the cave, she smelled a strong aroma of barbecue.
She hurried out of the cave and was met with a pitiful face.
Liao Jian's eyes were black and blue. "Miss Mianmian, please don't let them beat me anymore, I'm going to be beaten to death."
"When you torment others, and they beg you to spare them, do you spare them?"
Liao Jiangong deserves much credit for how the Gujing Mine became what it is today.
Jiang Mianmian ignored him and quickly walked to the square in front of the village.
They specifically asked them to level this area and lay floor tiles on it, making it neat and clean.
In the center, several stoves and fires were set up, some with simmering pork belly, some with stir-fried spicy chicken pieces, and some with milky white tofu and fish soup. But what attracted her most was a whole roasted lamb!
"It must be Grandma Niu's cooking, it smells so good!"
The crust was already crispy from baking. Jiang Mianmian picked up a small knife from the side and cut off a piece. "Grandma Niu, let me taste it to see if it's cooked through."
"Then you'll have to taste it again to check the saltiness."
Grandma Niu affectionately sprinkled cumin, salt and pepper, and chili powder on her, saying, "They're grilling skewers over there on the 25th, and they've also prepared your favorite shrimp and chicken wings."
"Okay, I'll go taste it to check the saltiness!"
Jiang Mianmian sliced several pieces in a row, then steadily ran over with the tray.
Jiu Niang pulled her to sit down, "Alright, sit down and eat properly. If you want anything else, I'll get it for you."
"I want coconut juice too! And mango, cherries, and big grapes!"
After stuffing a big mouthful of meat, Jiang Mianmian remembered the last time she ate roast meat at the manor, when Twenty-Six was still there.
It's a pity I didn't know he was the leader at the time, otherwise my feelings would have been completely different.
I've accumulated over 600,000 merit points, and I still haven't heard from him at all. I wonder how many merit points I'll need to contact him. Sigh.
Jiang Mianmian sighed inwardly and called Xin Xiuniang and the others, as well as Zhao Baifu and Guo Pang, over. "Come on, let's eat together!"
